The Geneseo Model Railroaders Club was established by model railroad enthusiasts in 2011 in Geneseo and is open to collectors and hobbyists of all scales and gauges of model trains.

Club meetings are held at 6:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month at the Geneseo Public Library, with Mike Gawrysiak as president. Anyone interested in learning more is welcome to attend a meeting.

Gawrysiak said the contribution of $50 was made to the Geneseo-Atkinson Food Pantry “to show our support of the community.”

Michael Sigwalt, director of the food pantry, responded, “We really appreciate all the support the Geneseo community gives us.”
